10 Mental Health Tips

The 2-Minute Rule

If a task takes less than 2 minutes, do it now. This prevents mental clutter and reduces the anxiety of a growing to-do list.

Connection is Medicine

Meaningful social connection is as vital as nutrition. Schedule regular check-ins with people who lift you up.

Nature Bathing

Spending just 20 minutes in nature lowers cortisol levels. Even looking at pictures of nature can reduce stress.

Hydration Affects Mood

Even mild dehydration can affect your mood and cognition. Aim for 8 glasses of water daily - your brain is 75% water!

Self-Compassion Break

When stressed, place hand on heart and say 'This is hard. Everyone struggles. May I be kind to myself.' It works.

Practice the 4-7-8 Breathing Technique

Breathe in for 4 seconds, hold for 7, exhale for 8. This calms your nervous system and can help you fall asleep faster.

The 20-20-20 Rule

Every 20 minutes, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. This reduces eye strain and gives your mind micro-breaks.

Digital Sunset Routine

Put away screens 1 hour before bed. Blue light disrupts melatonin production, making quality sleep harder to achieve.

Learn Something New

Novelty creates new neural pathways. Spend 15 minutes daily learning - a language, instrument, or skill.

Start Your Day with Intention

Before checking your phone, take 5 minutes to set a positive intention for your day. This simple practice can reduce anxiety and increase focus.
